The folks at Kosmos appreciate how you incorporate our corps song into your program- looks like a good one :devil:

There have been some slight changes to the Across the Universe show programming.

We will no longer be using Pink Floyd's Interstellar Overdrive in the Drum Feature Movement.

Also, new corps uniform, color guard uniforms, and flag designs should be up on the webpage later in the week!
